Peek in the JQuery Mobile BB10 Theme

After watching the videos from BlackBerry Jam and going through the UI Guidelines (and any other documentation I can find), I am trying to implement the Peek function in the jQuery Mobile BB10 Theme.

Everything works great when I click the Back button on a page. (The page slides to the right to reveal the higher level in the hierarchy.)

If the user is suppose to be able to control the Peek with their finger, should I code the Back button to somehow move as the user moves their finger? Then I am assuming that once a threshold is reached the page continues to move to the right to reveal the underlying page?

Also, should an active touch area also be defined on the left side of the window that allows the user to swipe across the page in a non-precise manner (as suggested in the videos)? Will this active area interfere with a bezel gesture, such as switching to another app on the PlayBook?

If Peek is suppose to be a core component in the new BB10 experience, I have a feeling developers will be all over the place with this if it is not included in the development framework. (Just a thought....)

Re: Peek in the JQuery Mobile BB10 Theme

I am seriously reconsidering my choice to develop my apps in the jQuery Mobile BB10 Theme. It doesn't seem like it is as far along as Cascades or bbUI.js. I keep trying to put things in my code that aren't in the development framework. I find myself spending too much time discovering what doesn't work and then trying to hack around it.

I will update this post if it is discussed during the presentation.
